Is South Puerto Blanco Drive (along the Border) open now? Has been closed in the past.
This is an interesting article as all roads are now open and the park is deemed 'safe'.

Closing came about when a park ranger was killed. We personally knew him, Kris Eggle, as he was a ranger at Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat'l Lakeshore, Michigan when we volunteered there. He was an awesome person and a tragic death.
The visitor center at Organ Pipe is named in his honor.
